It seems people do watch Figure Skating.
Edit: FCS championship was the most watched sports broadcast in its timeslot.
Re: Championship TV Ratings
NFL playoff games way down in viewers, FCS playoff not off substantially. There is no issue.

Maybe since it was FCS, and no matter what, was never going to have more than a million or so viewers, ESPN just didn't give a shit.
Re: Championship TV Ratings
It doesn't help ratings when the week prior there are 40 bowl games on TV for a week or more prior to the FCS title game. The NFL was down last weekend 20% from last year alone. I guess if your to FN stupid to stand for your own national anthem, much of the public isn't stupid enough to watch, Bro!

I don't think 11 AM hurts TV ratings. People watching on TV are either fans of the two teams or are college football fans where it is a bonus to be having college football on at all that day and even more of a bonus it is on that early.
